Ideas Have Consequences
Everything that we see around us is the product of ideas, of ideologies, of worldviews. That's where everything starts. Worldviews are not all the same, and the differences matter a lot. How do you judge a tree? By its fruits. How do you judge a worldview? By its physical, tangible, observable fruit. The things it produces. Ideas that are noble and true produce beauty, abundance, and human flourishing. Poisonous ideas produce ugliness. They destroy and dehumanize. It really is that simple. Welcome to Ideas Have Consequences, the podcast of Disciple Nations Alliance, where we prepare followers of Christ to better understand the true ideas that lead to human flourishing while fighting against poisonous ideas that destroy nations. Join us, and prepare your minds for action!
Ideas Have Consequences
Hijacked Nationalism
Nations, nationalism, and Christian nationalism
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you..." (Gen. 12:2). Nations are a key concept throughout the Bible. Nations represent a middle ground between tribalism on one side, and empire, on the other. Given this, why is there so much negativity today towards the concept of nations, and particularly the concept of “nationalism,” or “Christian nationalism” today? Join Darrow, Scott, Luke, and Dwight as they seek to understand this important and controversial subject.
